Private security firm G4S has sacked two members of staff who tagged a man’s false leg, allowing him to remove it and flout a court-imposed curfew.
Christopher Lowcock, 29, fooled the two employees by wrapping a prosthetic leg in a bandage when they set up the tag at his home in Rochdale, Greater Manchester.
He was then able to remove the limb and break a curfew imposed for offences...

Combining Jesus and a leopard print minidress →
Printed on the underside of their neon pink bags is “John 3:16”. It’s there because the founder of Forever 21, Don Chang, is a born-again Christian.
“The bag is simply a statement of faith,” says the company. The parallels with “For God so loved the world that he gave his own begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have ...

Who, What and Where is Bon Iver? →
The songs revolve around the melodies — big, spectral, swooping things — and the words are secondary to the feelings they evoke. Often when singing, Vernon lands on cryptic words: “acrost,” “melic,” “noachide” and so forth. The meaning is in the melody, the texture, the implication. “I’m not really asking you to hear what I’m saying too much,” he said, “because I would have spoken the words...

Speeding driver recites verses to magistrates →
Before you today stands a man in the dock
To whom this bleak chapter’s a terrible shock
Kind and aware on the road as a rule He tripped up that day and transgressed a rule.
The outlandish speed was but a short burst
On a dual lane stretch to get up there first
To the top of the hill to avoid getting stuck Down the single lane stretch by a slow moving truck.
If you averaged my speed...

Mr Gorske says he eats a Big Mac in 16 bites and keeps track of his consumption on calendars.
Every week he buys six on Monday and eight on Thursday and keeps them in his fridge or freezer until he is ready to eat them, he says.

3 days till the end of the world..? →
Most people like to push thoughts about the end of the world to the back of their minds, hoping that the apocalypse, if it ever comes, will be a long way off.
But for one group of not-so happy campers, doomsday is a lot sooner…May 21 to be precise.
According to the predictions of the Family Radio ministry, on that date a massive earthquake will shake the world apart, littering the...
